an efficient one pot multi component synthesis of 1, 4-polyhydroquinoline derivatives through unsymmetrical hantzsch reaction using lanthanum chloride heptahydrate (lacl3.7h2o) from an aromatic aldehyde, ethyl acetoacetate, dimedone and ammonium acetate as a nitrogen precursor in ethanol at room temperature is described. in the present work we report lanthanum chloride heptahydrate remarkably n...

Calcium channels are known to exist in muscle, neuronal and secretory cells. The 1,4-dihydropyridines are potent blockers of L-type Ca channels, and have been used as specific probes in the study of dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca channels. The receptor for the 1,4-dihydropyridines has been purified from skeletal muscle in order to characterize the biochemistry and molecular biology of the dihydro...

The venom of the black mamba contains a 60-amino acid peptide called calciseptine. The peptide has been fully sequenced. It is a smooth muscle relaxant and an inhibitor of cardiac contractions. Its physiological action resembles that of drugs, such as the 1,4-dihydropyridines, which are important in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Calciseptine, like the 1,4-dihydropyridines, selective...

Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, ABCG2) is a recently identified member of the ATP-binding cassette family of cell surface transport proteins. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a series of newly synthesized 1,4-dihydropyridines and pyridines, designed as potent P-glycoprotein inhibitors, on BCRP-mediated drug efflux both in vitro and in vivo. The effects of 25 synthes...

sulfated titania nanoparticles (so42-/tio2 nps) were synthesized using titanium tetraisopropoxide (ttip) by the sol-gel method. the structure and morphology of the prepared nanocatalyst was characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and brunauer–emmett–teller (bet) methods as well as fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectr...

2-monobromomethyl 1,4-dihydropyridines is selectively synthesized by bromination of the parent compound by 1.1 equivalents of pyridinium bromide perbromide in dichloromethane/pyridine at -20 °C. The same reagent in dichloromethane at 0 °C produce the 2,6-bis(bromomethyl) 1,4-dihydropyridines.

The reactions of sec-aminodienyl esters 3 with crotonaldehyde (4) afforded N-alkyl 3-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethenyl]-4-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridines 5, providing a new azaelectrocyclization reaction.

A protocol for anti-Markovnikov hydroarylation of alkenes with aryl halides has been developed using polysulfide anions as photocatalysts in the presence Hantzsch ester and water under irradiation visible light.

Dialkyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylates have been prepared in a batch mode under conventional heating as well as under continuous flow conditions in the Miniflow 200SS, Sairem's microwave-assisted batch and continuous flow equipment. Real-time monitoring of the reactions by Raman spectroscopy enabled to compare both heating modes and to determine (optimized) reaction times.
